Ugh, the updates…my work PC is Win 11, I got an email for IT last night telling me I had to install the latest update I had been putting off. This morning after I clocked out I started the update. I have 500 down and it took almost 2 hours to download and 3 hours later the installation is only at 53%. I’m just going to go to bed and hope it’s done by the time I have to clock in tonight.

And my coworkers wonder why I prefer Linux…

That is a totally viable method, it’s just not the one I want to pursue.

Also, yeah I don’t even want to think about the taxes…

I could put on an Aerosmith record before I knew how to leave and my Disney VHS tapes in the VCR, of course then my older cousin brought over her Master of Puppets album and I fell in love with thrash. As she still likes to remind me, “I turned you into a metal head before you were out of diapers”. I still love the classics too BTW.

That is one way, and it is smart. For me I have a small amount of companies that I own and want to increase my stakes in those. The problem is they are all up at the moment. I’m waiting for a drop then I’ll start buying in.

To each their own, I’ll stick with my method and you can do yours. We’ll just have to wait and see who’s got the right idea in this uncharted landscape.

I wish you the best of luck, not sarcastically either.

Yep, when I started investing about 20 years ago I read as much as I could, one thing that always stuck with me was a Warren Buffet quote “be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful”.

That’s generally how I approach investing in stock and Bitcoin. There are exceptions of course, but that’s the general plan. This stock or whatever isn’t failing, it’s on sale.

Only if you need the funds short term, if you are a ways off from needing the funds then hold what you’ve got and start building a cash reserve to buy more shares when it’s low.

We expect explosive results!

Very interesting, thanks. I really need to get my activity pub link setup since it would be nice to also be linked to mastodon. Oh boy, another project! ADHD for the win! Squirrel!!!

I did not know that, thank you. Yes it is a WordPress blog. I’ll have to Google how to set that up. Any links to guides are also welcome!
